In ABCDscores: Summary Scores of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study

Create static variable, one per participant, using longitudinal responses

Description

Update an existing field to include longitudinal responses. Use data for each id from the first available event and set that value for all event rows.

Usage

make_static(
  data,
  id = "participant_id",
  event = "session_id",
  exclude = NULL,
  var_in,
  var_out
)

Arguments

data	Dataframe with fields specified in id, event, and var.
id	character of length 1. Name of field that contains the IDs for which we need to assess the longitudinal data.
event	character of length 1. Name of field that contains the (longitudinal) event IDs.
exclude	character (vector). The value(s) to be excluded (Default: NULL; all values are used).
var_in	character of length 1. Name of the field that contains the longitudinal values or responses.
var_out	character of length 1. Name of the new field that contains one static value per id computed from the longitudinal values or responses in var_in.

Value

Dataframe with two columns: id and var_out

Examples

data <- tibble::tribble(
  ~"id", ~"event", ~"values",
  "A", 1, NA,
  "A", 2, 2,
  "A", 3, 3,
  "B", 1, NA,
  "B", 2, NA,
  "B", 3, 1
)

make_static(
  data,
  var_in = "values",
  var_out = "static_nothing_excluded",
  id = "id",
  event = "event"
)

make_static(
  data,
  var_in = "values",
  var_out = "static_excluding_1and2",
  exclude = c("1", "2"),
  id = "id",
  event = "event"
)
